My father is deceased and I have asked my son to walk me down the aisle.

Question

My son is in the Marines and he will be walking me down the aisle when I get married next year, any suggestions the the first dance at the reception for him and me?? Also to walk down the aisle don't most wedding just play the traditional wedding song?? I have a year to decide all this and could use all the help I can get at this point.

Answer 1

I didn't have here comes the bride as I walked down the aisle I had A vay Maria sung by the organest of our church. I had my dad thank God,But my son would have been nice to. After all in a way he is giving you away to just not in the same way I think butterfly kisses is a good song to dance your first dance with your son but if he is going to be in uniform I think wind beneath my wings it sort of brings your dad into it to. Hope I helped Good Luck on your day!  

Answer 2

Here's a great website I've found that has all different kinds and genres of music for your wedding.  They have links for ceremony music, first dance songs, and even father/daughter songs, which is what I'd probably look at for your dance with your son.  There are songs there that are definitely father/daughter, but some are more generic, like Stevie Wonder's "You are the Sunshine of my life," and "What a Wonderful World" by the great Louis Armstrong.  Anyway, I hope it's a great jumping off point for you, and you can generate some great ideas from it.  Good luck!
